Also, Converse, who are sponsoring the event, will be giving away a free pair of shoes to the first 30 people through the door. There will also be a treasure hunt for an additional 15 pairs of Converse shoes. Clues will be on the back of the event schedule, which will be handed out at the door.

Doors open at noon. Once capacity is reached, it will be one in, one out. Ins and outs will be allowed before 6pm only. And of course RSVP does not guarantee entry.

On Sunday, August 8th, a host of loud, riff-heavy bands will descend upon Los Angeles for The Power of the Riff Festival. Curated by Greg Anderson (Southern Lord) and Sam James Velde (NIGHT HORSE), The Power of the Riff Festival was assembled with the intent to blur the lines between Metal, Hardcore, Punk and Rock music.

CORROSION OF CONFORMITY III, which is the Animosity lineup of CORROSION OF CONFORMITY (Reed Mullin, Mike Dean, Woodroe Weatherman), have recorded a new song “Your Tomorrow” (Parts 1 & 2) for a forthcoming 7″. The song was recorded a few weeks ago and is currently being pressed onto black 180 gram wax. The 7″ will be available at upcoming COC III shows as well as through Southern Lord mailorder and independent record stores.
